Freunde des Eichtalparks

The association "Freunde des Eichtalparks e.V." was founded in 2018 and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of Eichtalpark in Hamburg-Wandsbek. The park, formerly known as "Wandsbeker Stadtpark," is approaching its 100th anniversary and serves as a green oasis amidst busy streets and commercial centers.

• KULTORHAUS: The renovated gatehouse at the park entrance serves as a cultural meeting point and event venue. During the Corona period, it was also used as an art gallery[4].
• Park Maintenance and Development: The association is committed to the maintenance and further development of the park, including the renovation of the gatehouse and the reconstruction of a bronze figure in the perennial garden[1].
• Playground and Sports Facilities: Plans are underway for an inclusive playground and the incorporation of a neighboring meadow for movement and sports[1].
• Community Work: The association creates a platform for engagement in the park and mediates between citizen interests, specialist authorities, and politics[3].

The main mission of the association is to revitalize and preserve Eichtalpark as a valuable space for nature, culture, and encounters. The association advocates for the strengthening of the neighborhoods surrounding the park and promotes active community, nature conservation, and cultural diversity. By collaborating with other non-profit actors, a broad base for engagement and co-design is created[1][3].

• Nature Conservation: The association is engaged in the care and preservation of the park's natural environment, including the renovation and redesign of green spaces[1].
• Climate Adaptation: In collaboration with the Wandsbek district, the association is working on concepts for climate adaptation and the preservation of green spaces in Eichtalpark[5].
• Inclusive and Intergenerational Activities: The association plans to establish an inclusive playground and integrate sports and movement areas to involve all generations[1].

The association invites all interested parties to participate as active members, supporters for project tasks, ideal sponsors through monetary donations, or as institutional sponsors and members of the advisory board. Through joint engagement, Eichtalpark should be made a more livable place for the community[1].
